The resources on this app have been astoundingly helpful, especially on my journey as a Jew by choice (thank you for all the translations!). There are some significant technical issues since the most recent update however, like the Saved tab duplicating items or the app crashing when I try to open items from the Saved or History tabs. Will adjust rating when these issues are fixed.

Love the app and how smooth it functions! two things I noticed, I can't remove something from the history bar, (although big ups on keeping so much history) and when I select a pasuk and open commentaries, it keeps that selected text on the top of the page and if I scroll at all (in order to take a screenshot with the pasuk directly above the commentary) it automatically changes the selected text to the text at the top of the page, which I see almost entirely as a glitch. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

A vast library of Jewish texts, intertextual links, and translations all trapped behind a sluggish and highly unresponsive interface, making for a very frustrating experience. Better to use the website, as it loads much faster than even locally stored texts in the app.
